Permit Center - Plan Submittal Checklists

To assist customers with the plan review process, we have listed our most common plan review project submittal checklists. Download these files below.

Each checklist is organized by type of drawing or supplemental information required, and which department/division needs to review it. Some of the boxes have specific notations in them, implying that a specific piece of information is only required if your project meets the details in the box. If an X is in the box, than that piece of information is indeed required. You can count up the number of sets required for submittal once you have determined which departments/divisions need to review your project.

Submitting the correct number of plans is vital, as we will only accept projects for plan review that have all the required plan sets.

If you have any questions interpreting the plan submittal requirements, please call the department listed for assistance. The numbers are listed under the Services Directory.
